Trump in the Clink

[RestlessSoul]

Strike him down and he will become more powerful then you can possibly imagine.

Meh. Maybe. Maybe not. How about, do it and see what happens?

A fleeting moment of honesty! Savour it.

Perhaps criminal activity isn't punished by imprisonment in the US, hence the monicker "The Land of the Free."

I tired to be serious until I got to the hair bit. I had to add that and his general bad taste to my list.

If they ever actually do imprison Trump, it probably couldn't be any ordinary prison. With Napoleon, they sent him to St. Helena (as the first time they tried to imprison him, it didn't work out).

Since St. Helena is still under British control, that may not be suitable for Trump, but it occurs to me that there's a similar island in the Pacific controlled by the US, Johnston Atoll.

Ex-presidents are above the law.
No jail time.

Maybe they could take a leaf out of the UK government's book, which plans to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda. And no, I haven't made that up.

Most likely these documents will not reveal anything, however they might reveal some fraud. Obviously if he has done something illegal he's not going to leave the evidence lying about in boxes. His weakness is his inability to self criticize though, so he may not recognize that something he has done is fraudulent. If anything it will be business or tax fraud.

it is illegal to remove classified documents. Even for a president.

that is why his residence was raided.


Update, Feb. 18: The boxes taken from Mar-a-Lago contained “items marked as classified national security information,” Ferriero confirmed in a Feb. 18 letter to Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, a New York Democrat who chairs the House Oversight Committee. “Because NARA identified classified information in the boxes, NARA staff has been in communication with the Department of Justice,” Ferriero said.

trump is a walking national security risk.

With the FBI raid just happening I thought I'd test the water to see what folks think is the most likely to get Trump in the clink first.

Not gonna happen.

But it has been seen before with Nixon so perhaps America is used to it by now.

Before any of these could possibly happen he will be charged with committing adultery with Hillary Clinton. Right after hell freezes over.

I admit I'd not considered that aspect. Maybe they could just deposit him in Alabama and build a wall around the border.

Or bring back 'rendition' used during George W's presidency for conspirators.

Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World countries," he said. "Sadly, America has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.

I doubt that the early union movement, or the early suffrage movement, or the early civil rights movement, or ... would agree.

Never mind, Pootie will look after him - besties apparently:

The US still rents a patch of land in Cuba. There's even a prison with some free cells.

I chose other: harrassing the FBI agents as they searched his home.

"I'm telling you, I won the election by the most votes in history. No one has ever gotten so many votes. But I'm so persecuted. The most persecuted! Even honest Abe had it easy--and we love Honest Abe, don't we folks! That toilet, now that's a toilet! It flushes nice, so good. So strong! Not like those toilets the Democrats want us to have, won't flush anything. Takes so many flushes, so many flushes. And windmills, I'm telling you, the windmills are killing the birds, and golf, it's ridiculous! The radical left, and China, they love their windmills and low flush toilets. I worked so hard--the hardest! But now look at me! But you guys are good, doing your job, you're good. It's crooked Hillary you should be investigating, and Sleepy Joe Biden."

This actually painted a pretty vivid mental image for me.
You have a definite future as a Trump burner account.

If you mean he'll use punitive action as a means of rallying supporters behind him for more extreme behaviour than previously...I think you have a point.

Also, he'd approve of the grandiose terms you've used to describe that here. It's sounds 'powerful'.
